What does it really mean to serve like Jesus?

In this livestream, we talk about three practical ways we can follow His example:

1. 
See everyone’s value

2. Seek to bless others

3. Serve sacrificially


Serving isn’t just something we do in church—it’s a way of life. Let’s learn how we can serve Jesus by serving the people He has placed around us.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…” — Mark 10:45

Why should we obey God when obedience makes life harder? What if we're doing what's right but don't see any results? And what if the people around us aren't obeying God either?

In this conversation, we process Jesus' teaching about the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24–27. Both heard His words—but only one acted on them. The difference wasn't simply what they knew. It was what they did with what they heard.

We talk honestly about some difficult questions surrounding obedience:

• Why does obeying God sometimes make life harder?
• Why do people who disobey God sometimes seem to succeed?
• If I'm already saved, why do I still need to obey?
• How do I keep obeying when I don't see results?
• What if I feel like God has abandoned me?
• Why should I obey when people around me don't practice what they preach?
• How should Christians respond to authority?

One truth kept coming back throughout our conversation:

Our obedience should not depend on our circumstances, our feelings, other people's behavior, or the results we see. We obey because we love God and desire to please Him.

Obedience isn't always easy. But when the storms come, Jesus reminds us that the wise person doesn't merely hear His Word—he builds his life upon it.

Why is it sometimes easier to show love and patience to other people than to our own family?

In this conversation, we process Jesus' command to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind—and to love others as ourselves. We talk about what that looks like in the place where love can sometimes be most challenging: our own homes.

We discuss why family members can be difficult to love, how expectations and familiarity can lead to hurt, and why understanding God's love for us is essential if we want to love others well.

We also talk about practical issues like communication, forgiveness, choosing love even when we don't feel like it, and guarding our hearts from things that can slowly take our affection away from God.

Here's a simple challenge you can try with your family:

Ask someone you love, “How can I improve in showing love to you?”

Then don't defend yourself. Just listen. There might be something God wants you to see.

May our love for God be seen most clearly in the way we love the people He has placed closest to us.
